The Roman Catholic Church of the Middle Ages was organized just about the same as it is today. The clergy were divided into two groups, the regular and the secular. The regular clergy were monks and abbots, who lived in monasteries. The secular clergy were the deacons, priests, and bishops who served the secular people around them.The Pope was the most important person in the Roman Catholic Church, and was at its head.Regular clergy were organized according to the regulations of their orders. There was sometimes a master or grand master at the top, who answered to the pope. The abbeys and monasteries were headed by abbots, and most of the people in them were monks.The highest bishops other than the pope were cardinals, who elected popes as they were needed. Below them were archbishops and below them were bishops. The bishops had priests below them, and at the bottom of the ordained secular clergy were deacons. The position of archdeacon was not universal, and was a priest between the bishop and other priests.It was organized as the following from lowest to highest power:priestsbishopsarchbishopscardinalsPope
What was the medieval church divided into?
This question has two answers, depending on what is intended. The Church was operationally divided into two parts, the regular and the secular. The regular clergy were monastics, who were operating under monastic regulation. The secular clergy were the parish priests, bishops, and so on, who were out working with secular people. The main body of the Church divided into two parts at the Great Schism in 1054. The western Church was Latin and centered on Rome, and this is the Roman Catholic Church. The eastern Church was Greek and centered on Constantinople, and this was the Eastern Orthodox Church. (Truth be told, however, there were always smaller independent churches, such as the Coptic Orthodox Church.)
How did priests spend free time?
Priests do all kinds of regular things just like us. Just like when we're not working or going to school, we spend our time doing things that interest us, like sports, arts, and crafts, maybe doing something that benefits your family. Priests do these things too. They go to sporting events, they Golf, they go shopping. In fact, priests do whatever they want to do as long as it is within the rules of being a priest. Because that's one thing that never changes, whether they are in the church or they are on their own time. priests are regular people.
